I guess it's partly that a lot of sites can't send that kind of traffic? It is sad, though, because people spam the comments with their links all the time and get extra traffic that way yet the people who we send traffic to willingly usually don't even acknowledge it. OK, I'm getting jaded :)</p>DeramiThu, 06 Sep 2007 07:30:42 -0000http://andybeard.eu/966/sharing-traffic-for-free-traffic.html#comment-10990841<p>It's so strange ... this month Web Urbanist has sent 13 sites over 5,000 hits each, another 20 or so over 2,000 hits and a good 50 have gotten over 1,000, but the site has only gotten two linkbacks sending over 500 hits that weren't from social media sites.

I can imagine that karmically, this might work out in the end to get your site more traffic. Sometimes I link to blogs that don't get much in the way of linkage and throw out some odd anchor text.</p><p>I accused MyNewHustle of touching DormEarning in one of my posts, and it just made me laugh and laugh. They're both favorite blogs of mine and they need some support.</p><p>I hope it got both of them some traffic.</p>HellSun, 02 Sep 2007 22:54:04 -0000http://andybeard.eu/966/sharing-traffic-for-free-traffic.html#comment-10990840<p>I do believe in the notion that you should share traffic.

If you find some one, or some groups at a social network site doesn't reciprocate, then maybe you need a new groups.</p><p>The same sort of goes with real life friends. Generally speaking, you don't want to constantly pick up the tab for all your friends when you go to happy hour and never see any of them do anything for you! It doesn't have to be even-steven. After all, if you are wealthy and they are poor, you'll probably offer to pick up more tabs. But at a certain point, you know if you are being taken advantage of or just pushing unwelcome stuff at people.</p>luciaSat, 01 Sep 2007 13:23:08 -0000http://andybeard.eu/966/sharing-traffic-for-free-traffic.html#comment-10990839<p>Well, the thing about sharing is you need to share at the right places.
